LUKE LITTLER has already banked an incredible £12 for every dart he has thrown during this year’s Premier League Darts campaign.

The Nuke heads into Finals Night as the favourite to win the title after falling short against Luke Humphries in last year’s showpiece.

The 19-year-old sensation has dominated the league phase, finishing top of the table after winning six of the 16 nightly events.

The Premier League reaches its climax at London’s O2 Arena on Thursday night — and Littler has already racked up huge earnings before a dart is even thrown.

According to Fanatix, the Warrington star has pocketed £60,000 from his six nightly victories alone.

Each nightly winner receives a £10,000 bonus, with Littler battling through 327 legs across those triumphs.

Over the course of the tournament, he has reportedly made around 4,905 visits to the oche, meaning every dart thrown has effectively earned him £12.

And the numbers could become even more staggering.

If Littler goes on to lift the Premier League trophy on Finals Night, he will scoop the full £350,000 top prize.

The overall prize pot has increased by £75,000 since Luke Humphries claimed the crown last year.

Should Littler take home the jackpot, his earnings would work out at roughly £76 per dart thrown throughout the competition.

That figure is around SEVEN times higher than the UK minimum wage for the average 19-year-old, currently set at £10.85 per hour.

Despite the Premier League final taking place tomorrow night, Littler is already looking ahead to the World Championship later this year.

The Alexandra Palace spectacle runs from December into January 2027, with The Nuke aiming to complete a remarkable hat-trick of world titles.

The teenage star even hinted he could help Prince William secure tickets after receiving his MBE at Windsor Castle last week.

Littler said: “Prince William said he’s been following my journey and we spoke about how much darts has grown.

“I didn’t actually invite him, but if he needs a few tickets then I’m sure myself or the PDC can sort something out.”
